How’s the writing going, you might ask? Well I wrote one line today, and it was the title of a meeting that I invited a friend to so that I can lock down some decisions that I probably should have made weeks ago 🫶

Why is the main character from my new WIP, ❤️‍🔥🍒THE SUN THE MOON THE MONSTER🦇🌶️🌴 a dancer? Because I am! 💃 🪩✨📚💙🪐

I’ve become a meme factory for fantasy romance girlies ✨⚔️❤️🔮📚💙🪐🌶️ (procrastinating on my plotting)

I started plotting my urban fantasy romance with a pole dancing, motorcycle driving manananggal assassin on a mission to seduce and kill a (sexy) sun god set in a modern Vegas + LA filled with gods and monsters 😈🍸🌞💋🎰🌊🎥 which is SO EXCITING but me, the author, am in bed at 8pm with a herbal tea 🍵

Finally made it out to @joiedelivresmtl.bsky.social , an amazing Montreal bookstore/café/bar. My books there are now signed. And I got to hang with my friend @deannajvaldez.com

Writers truly never clock out 🫠 I’ve started intense and time-consuming research* for my 🌞west coast 🎰🍸urban filipino fantasy feat. gods, monsters, strip clubs, Hollywood parties, casinos and convertibles *rewatching Buffy *rewatching Angel *rewatching Charmed What else should I research*?

Last year his estate donated the royalties for Last Christmas to his charity that offers funding for LGBTQIA+ orgs and they said they'd do it again this year. Listen to it loads!

ok. i am about to get sentimental on main. The Iron Garden Sutra is going to be out in like...4 months, and i have complicated feelings. i love sci-fi. i grew up reading it and now i'm writing it (yay!). but it feels like the genre is shrinking except for the well-established heavy hitters.

Say less 😈
